Maybe you just don't have enough patience to let the less immediate tunes reveal themselves?

The shouty bits on 'Laika' are pure pish, since you asked my opinion. But I don't expect you to respect it.

Lads - less of the bickering please.

It may have been played to death, but 'Nevermind' has nary a weak moment.

[DaaaaaaaaaaN]

Muse - Origin of Symmetry
Arctic Monkeys - What Ever People Say I am, That's What I'm Not
Trivium - Ascendancy

The only 3 albums off the top of my head that I could listen to start to finish....I'm sure many will disagree.

Even 19 years on it's a pleasure to listen to all the way through.

But would someone who picked it up for the first time in 2010 think the same?

Laika was the first Arcade Fire song I ever heard, and I bought Funeral purely off the back of it. It's still one of my favourites.

Bloc Party's Silent Alarm is a humdinger right through, and I definitely agree with High Violet.

The National are nothing like the Smiths! More Joy Division, at times, than anything!

Besides the deep singing voice there's not really much there that puts them in league with Joy Division.

Also spiritoftheseventies said they draw on The Smiths, no that they were like them.

Being influenced by a group and sounding like them are too very different things.

For instance, Alex Chilton influenced REM but I'd never mistake an REM track for a Big Star track.

I know of only six albums with absolutely zero filler:

1. Morrissey - Vauxhall and I

2. Love - Forever Changes

3. The Doors - The Doors

4. Elliott Smith - Either/Or

5. My Bloody Valentine - Loveless

6. The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses

Tough one. I think I'd have to say 'The Best of the Beatles.
